It should be automatic for .sas if ESS is loaded.  For the others, you 
can automate them in ess-site.el via auto-mode-alist

sas-listing-mode is pretty much a waste of time.  sas-log-mode is 
basically just SAS-mode with a few tweaks.  And, lastly, yes and no
(you've already got them, they come with ESS).
